DVD Verdict posts insightful, sometimes irreverent, reviews of films in the DVD format. Copyright: HipClick Designs LLC Quote: "A puritan soul I am not, but there's a limit to how far one can push comedy and still have the right to call it thus." Quote: "Bra Boys feels more like hijacked home videos edited together than a film with any kind of point or message behind it; or worse, like watching a made-for-television courtroom drama where the outcome is never once in doubt." Quote: "Life is imperfect, and The Wire is nothing if not a reflection of our world, warts and all." Quote: "Despite the occasionally off-putting subject matter, this is comfort television at its most syndicated; most fans know these episodes back and forth, and they are as familiar and form-fitting as a latex glove gripping a knife used to stab a teenage hooker." Quote: "The hatred I have for this movie can barely be contained in these mere words." Quote: "Credit where credit is due: horror actor/director/writer Larry Fessenden (Wendigo) sells a totally ludicrous story on audiences through nothing short of complete command of mood and atmosphere." Quote: "Outsourced is a lovely surprise -- a film that belies its strengths, charms, and passion behind a veil of obscurity. People will easily pass it over in the rental store, which is a screaming nightmare of a shame." Quote: "The plot points do not get 'wrapped up' so much as they get balled into a giant Gordian knot and lit on fire, but it entertains all the same. The ending is a straight Hail Mary, What The Hell? kind of finale, the kind that gets its walking papers from something other than logic. Don't waste your brain trying to figure it out. Just sit back and enjoy the ride." Quote: "Admittedly, City of Men plays less like a cinematic film in its own right and more like the last two or three episodes of City of Men that the producers never got the chance to shoot." Quote: "Imagine Canadian and American indie-rock hipsters completely out of their element, wearing flak jackets, ducking snipers, and looking terrified, traveling to Baghdad to hang out with teenage metal heads, and you get a sense of how profoundly strange Heavy Metal in Baghdad is." |
